1.

If I am already in receipt of a loan for my tuition fee payable under the CPF Education Scheme, do I have to re-apply for the same funding every year?
As long as there are sufficient funds in the CPF member’s account to pay for your tuition fee payable, you do not have to re-apply every year.

2.

I have obtained a loan under the CPF Education Scheme to finance my tuition fee payable but I am still billed for my tuition fee. Why?
This could be due to insufficient funds in the CPF member’s account to pay for your tuition fee payable. You may make arrangements to include another CPF member who can pay for your tuition fee payable. Instructions on how to do so can be found here.
Alternatively, you may apply for a Tuition Fee Loan to finance up to 90% of your tuition fee payable.

3.

When do I start repaying the loan under the CPF Education Scheme?
Repayment starts one year after graduation or on leaving the course, whichever is earlier. The maximum repayment period is 12 years.
